Boston Globe says "President Spendthrift".

[section321]

Check this lead to a Boston Globe editorial....

"WHEN IT COMES to budget deficits, President Bush is like a husband who gambles away the grocery money and then blames his wife for serving leftovers. His $2.4 trillion budget, released yesterday, accompanies a record deficit of $521 billion ...
...
For a leader who makes so much of personal responsibility, Bush is remarkably un troubled about the bill coming due. But why not? He's got other people to pay for his spending and tax-cutting binge: America's children. "


here's the link.

2. That's right; deficits don't matter; there is no difference between WMDs

and "WMD program-related activities;" there never was an "imminent" threat, it was an "emerging" threat, never mind what we said then....
Fucking lying sack of shit bastards....

4. The budget deficit is actually $750 Billion

The additional 200 Billion plus being taken from Social Security witholding. Bill Seiden pointed this on CNBC. So much for the lock box, its going into chimpy's defense contractor friends pockets. So those who expect to retire with some sort of dignity will be paying as well as the children and everyone else.
